A Puerto Rican tenor who, at the height of his fame, was known as ‘The King of Tenors’ and ‘The Tenor of Kings’. Paoli is considered to be the first Puerto Rican to reach international fame in the musical arts. Paoli has been recognized as ‘one of the most outstanding opera singers of all time’, and as one who had ‘one of the most lyric and powerful voices...superior even to his contemporary rival, Enrico Caruso’."

Few singers of zarzuela have enjoyed for more than thirty years of so much popularity, the same in Spain as in South America. Sagi-Barba was, in this genre, a unique figure. He captivated audiences by his beautiful voice, his correct diction and his characteristic singing school.
At age nineteen, eager to triumph and see much of the world, he went to Buenos Aires with a modest lyric company where he replaced the baritone who was to play the part of ‘Melchor’ at the premiere of Bretón’s LA DOLORES. He gradually expanded his repertoire to include MARINA, LA TEMPESTAD, LA BRUJA, LA MASCOTA, LOS MADGYARES, EL POSTILLÓN DE LA RIOJA, EL GUITARRICO and EL ANILLO DE HIERRO, which earned him great triumphs in several countries of that continent. In 1905 Sagi-Barba made a rare display of his faculties. While performing at the Victoria Theater in the Argentine capital, the Italian opera company at the Politeama organized a gala function to commemorate the fourth anniversary of Verdi's death where he achieved the greatest success of his career. Both comrades and the press filled him with praise. Later, in Havana, he sang a magnificent RIGOLETTO.
During his remarkable career, his most famous roles were in EL GUITARRICO (1900), MOLINOS DE VIENTO (1910), LOS CADETES DE LA REINA (1913), LAS GOLONDRINAS (1914), LOS CALABRESES (1918), LA DOGARESA (1920), EL PÁJARO AZUL (1921), POR UNA MUJER (1922), EL DICTADOR (1923), LA PASTORELA (1926), LA DEL SOTO DEL PARRAL (1927), LA ROSA DEL AZAFRÁN (1930) and LUISA FERNANDA (1932).
For six years he remained in America, and when he turned twenty-five he decided to return to Spain. His first performance was in the Calvo and Vico Theater in Barcelona. He sang Arietta’s EL GRUMETE with great success. A great triumph awaited him with the premiere in Spain of Franz Lehár’s LA VIUDA ALEGRE that he sang with the great Luisa Vela who later became his wife and ideal companion. From that day, Sagi-Barba was the favorite baritone of the public of all Spain who cheered him with delirium. The date that has great value for the Vela / Sagi-Barba marriage is 5 February, 1914, at the premiere LAS GOLONDRINAS, a score that Usandizaga himself dedicated to the baritone, at the Teatro Circo Price in Madrid.”

For sheer loveliness of timbre, affecting sensitivity, elegance of line and utter ease in florid passagework, de los Angeles was hard to top. By the 1950s she was a mainstay of opera houses around the world and widely admired for her portrayals of leading lyric soprano roles, including Puccini's Mimi and Madama Butterfly, Verdi's Violetta, Massenet's Manon, Bizet's Carmen and Debussy's Mélisande. Though her sound was not enormous, she knew how to project her voice so that it carried effortlessly in the opera house. She even sang lighter Wagner roles with effectiveness and allure, including Elisabeth in TANNHÄUSER, the role of her 1961 Bayreuth Festival debut in Germany, and Eva in DIE MEISTERSINGER. - Anthony Tommasini, THE NEW YORK TIMES, 16 Jan., 2005

Elvino Ventura made his début in 1894 at the Teatro Epicarmo in Noto and was soon widely recognized as one of the most important tenors in Italy. In 1896 he appeared at the Teatro Regio in Turin as Marziale in Buzzi-Peccia‘s FORZA DELL’AMORE. In 1900 he sang Alfredo in LA TRAVIATA at the Teatro Carlo Felice in Genoa. The next year, Ventura appeared at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo as Osaka, one of his most famous roles, in Mascagni's IRIS with Fausta Labia. In 1901 he created the role of Florindo in the premiere of Mascagni's LE MASCHERE at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice. He appeared in almost all significant italian opera stages, also made guest appearances in London, Paris, Buenos Aires, Madrid, St. Petersburg and Warsaw. In his book Titta Ruffo wrote that he had the honour to sing with Elvino Ventura and soprano Pandolfini in LA TRAVIATA. He was one of the most prolific recording opera singers of his time.”
